Debut draws crowds, tears
'... We call them heroes'

The tragedy and horror local Vietnam veterans experienced in the war were magnified on the big screen Thursday night.
The vivid recollections from the veterans featured in the documentary "Some Call Them Baby Killers "» We Call Them Heroes" by R-Squared Productions were funny at times and emotional at others. Twenty Vietnam veterans from northeastern Louisiana were featured in the film and recalled the horror they saw in combat, the smell of the country and what it felt like to lose fellow soldiers in a split second.
Executive Producer Rodney Ray said it was important that he preserve and tell the stories of our vets before the stories were lost.
"It is so humbling, and it is very honoring to be a part of what we hope is the healing process for these vets," Ray said. "It is very powerful and very moving. The reason I do movies is to change people's lives, and I believe this one will."
